Insights for entering the Engineering industry

For many reasons, there has never been a better time to train as an engineer. It’s been widely reported that there is a shortage of people with STEM skills and that the sector needs a fresh wave of talent to help keep the UK’s businesses innovating and remaining competitive on the world stage.

As a result, there is demand for highly-skilled, ambitious engineers at the start of their careers who are eager to learn, rise through the ranks, and fill the void left by experienced engineers who might be switching to part-time hours or retiring.

But while there may be a range of job opportunities available for the upcoming generation of young engineers, it’s important to think carefully about how a company will help you develop and provide the right foundations to maximise your potential.

Train to gain

At Alpine Fire we have developed our own bespoke training programme to nurture the talent of tomorrow. It was set up in response to the lack of formal apprenticeship schemes within our industry and to also help us create a pipeline of skilled engineers to keep the company moving forward and innovating.
